Calling all Lynchburg-area kids! The Lynchburg Hillcats and Children's Dentistry and Orthodontics of Lynchburg are excited to bring back Southpaw's Reading Club for the 2025 season.
Southpaw's Reading Club is a fun, incentive-based reading program that gives students the chance to earn weekly prizes through the Lynchburg Hillcats. The program kicks off on March 3 in accordance with National Reading Month and will last throughout the month.
Each goal corresponds with a base on a baseball diamond. Students will be rewarded with prizes from the Lynchburg Hillcats and local businesses for each goal completed. After students complete all four bases, they will receive a complimentary ticket to a Lynchburg Hillcats home game, valid for your school's Reading Club Night.
